Sheer For It Blush Tint

Verdict

e.l.f. Cosmetics Sheer For It Blush Tint is a thin, watery serum with a sheer, natural finish that works better as a lip stain than as a blush on foundation, where it can go patchy if over-blended. Abbey Yung notes a learning curve for blush application and that the color held up well on cheeks but feels completely dry once set, with less intense staining than competitors like Benetint. Emily Noel describes the shade as a classic rosy Benetint dupe with effortless spring vibes, ideal for light, dressed-up looks.

I love these. This has been a product that ever since it came out I have been using with consistency and I've been using really several of the different shades.
I love these as part of lip combos. They're great on the cheeks as well.
I love the rosy glow that I get with this.
If you're a person who wants color on your lips, but you absolutely don't want to feel anything, you got to try one of these stains.
So classic Benitint rosy.13:50–13:54
There's something that feels very effortless about that. Very springtime vibes.14:11–14:15
Keep it with a light eye. And I think it really feels like spring, like you're doing some kind of dressed up occasion. And it's springtime and you just want to look classic. This kind of lip is so great.14:12–14:18
I have come to enjoy these so much. I've been in such a groove of wanting to reach for one of these every day.15:39–15:44
It is multitasking lip and cheek. If you want to use it as a blush, it can be that.15:47–15:50
It can be a longwearing staining lip color that looks like a really pretty blotted matte lip on its own or like layer a gloss over top. I love it.15:50–15:54
These do not smell or taste like anything.11:13–11:23
I would describe the texture as a very thin, watery serum that has a bit of a learning curve if you are using it as a blush.11:20–11:25
When I first tried this out, I used the application technique that they showed on their website where they do like one dot at a time spaced out and then blending that out with a brush. But doing that on top of foundation was a patchy mess for me.11:26–11:29
I tried this again by adding more product in one central area and blending that out first before adding product to the rest of my cheek where I want to add even more color. And that worked way better.11:45–11:49
If I blend a little bit too much, it starts to go patchy and break down the foundation that I have underneath it.
I would consider this to be sheer with a natural finish.12:13–12:18
I do feel like the color held up well on my cheeks.12:21–12:25
As a lip stain, unlike Benitin, I don't have issues applying this and making the pigment look even.12:45–12:49
